You choose the field values to be returned, with a broad variety of options. For example, price fields include anything from closing price to day high and low, to bid and ask or even SIX Financial Information s valuation price, which identifies the best price for each security according to proven practices. Furthermore, for truly illiquid securities, you can even choose evaluated pricing from SIX Financial Information or other sources. 5
